Metav IndustryLine Surface Plate 600 x 400 mm (grey cast iron, DIN 876/3)

A Surface plate for workshop inspection and marking work, offering a stable reference surface for layout, scribing and general measurement tasks

• Grey cast iron construction, high stability
• 600 x 400 mm precision surface
• Surface grade per DIN 876/3
• Robust 36 kg weight for vibration damping

Reliable flatness for repeatable measurements

The grey cast iron top provides inherent damping and wear resistance, creating a consistent flat reference surface for marking and inspection. Conformance to DIN 876/3 signals a workshop-grade accuracy suitable for everyday measurement tasks where repeatability matters. The 600 x 400 mm surface gives a practical balance between reach and rigidity, so routine checks, scribing and comparative measurements remain stable without excessive equipment or set-up time. This focus on mechanical stability reduces rework and shortens setup cycles in production environments.

Workshop-friendly size and handling

With a nominal 25 mm top thickness and a compact footprint, the plate sits easily on benches or measuring tables while preserving sufficient stiffness for general shop use. The moderate mass of 36 kg enhances vibration damping, so layout lines and transferred marks are less prone to distortion during hand operations. The plate's dimensions make it well suited for fixture alignment, small jig checks and component inspection where a precise, unobstructed surface is required; handling is practical for one or two technicians using standard lifting aids.

Maintenance, longevity and practical advantages

Grey cast iron requires only straightforward care to keep the surface serviceable: light cleaning, rust prevention and occasional light lapping when wear becomes visible. The material's natural damping and hardness mean long service life under normal workshop conditions, keeping calibration intervals manageable. As a readily available metrology accessory from a recognised line, the unit integrates with existing measuring workflows and supports efficient layout and control processes without specialised training.

FAQ

What level of accuracy does this surface deliver?
The plate conforms to DIN 876/3, providing workshop-grade flatness suitable for routine inspection and layout tasks with reproducible results.

Is the plate suitable for fixture alignment and small jig checks?
Yes, the Metav IndustryLine surface plate and its 600 x 400 mm surface are well suited to fixture alignment, jig checks and similar bench-level operations.

How should the surface be maintained to ensure longevity?
Regular light cleaning, application of a thin rust-preventive film and occasional light lapping when wear appears will preserve the plate's service life.

Can the plate be used directly on a workbench or does it require a stand?
The compact dimensions and 25 mm thickness allow comfortable placement on a stable bench or measuring table; for prolonged use a dedicated support frame improves ergonomics.

What does the plate's weight contribute to measurement quality?
The 36 kg mass increases vibration damping and resistance to incidental movement, improving stability for manual scribing and comparative measuring.
